Ameren Illinois will close one lane of traffic on West South Street for a gas line project next week.Proposed work includes abandoning the existing gas service to 201 W. South St. The current plan involves work on both Tuesday and Wednesday.For the closure, flaggers would be utilized to maintain one lane of traffic. The portion of closure would be from Hollis Street to the entrance into Menards.Tuesday’s work would involve saw-cutting pavement with an estimated closure of two hours starting at 9 a.m. The abandonment would be done Wednesday with a start time of 8 a.m. and ending at approximately 6 p.m. The gas-related work would take approximately two hours but the excavation area will need to be backfilled and high/early strength concrete would be placed to allow for quick setting time with the intention of opening the closed lane of traffic by 6 p.m. (at the latest).
